5. Conclusions
We compared new paleomagnetic data with the published magnetic reversal
record, used the detailed magnetic characteristics of the cave sediment,
and inferred the specific magnetic reversal (Matuyama-Brunhes). This
comparison is possible due to the nature of the magnetic reversal. Note
that the paleopole resided east of Africa and then quickly reappeared
west of North America. We consider this occurrence to be an important
signature for dating the central European paleomagnetic record from this
time period.
The precursor event in our data is a significant anomaly to identify the
behavior of the Matuyama-Brunhes magnetic reversal. Additionally, we
were able to estimate the accumulation rate of the studied section
(~35 cm) in Za Hajovnou cave.
